To all whom it may concern:

l e it known that I. IJH'HNCL SAMEL, a subject of the King of llungaiy,residing at Lorain, in the county of Lorain and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Agricultural lilachines,of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the accompanying, drawing.

This invention relates to an agricultural machine and has for its objectto provide a machine of such class, carrying means for propelling thesame and to further provide the machine with a triangular shaped framecarrying a series of ground working tools -apable of being adjusted totheir operating position.

Further objects of the invention are to provide an agriculturalimplement which is comparatively simple in its constructionandarrangement, strong, durable, cl'licientand convenient in its use,readily set up and comparatively inexpensive.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists oi?a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, ashereinafter more specili'ailly described and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it is to be understood that changes. variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come within the scope of the claim hereuntoappended.

1n the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views :Figure l is a side elevation of an.agricultural. machine I in accordance with this invention. a top.plznfview.

.ll'eteri-ing to the drawings in detail, 1 and 2 denote a pair ofparallel members, having journaled in their lower sends an 'axlecarrying'a pair of tractor whcelsland Fi 2 is is a hub (3, and asprocket wheel 7.

Reference character 8 denotes the main bar of a machine frame and whichis disposed centrally with respect to the members 1 and 2. and extendingto nearthe forward end of said members 1 and 2. The forward ends of themembers 1 and2 are disposed inwardly at an inclination at 9 and 10 andare connected to the bar 8.

Projecting upward from cachet the memhers I and 2, foifulard thereof, isan upright 11, which has extending rearwardly thereof at an upwardinclination a bar being secured to a rearward e d nvnwardly inclined bar13. from the bar at an inclina clinedbar M. The bars 13 an cured totheir respective memb; Leading forward from the bars 1 gitudinallydisposed members 15 minate in members 16. The membe J are securedtogether by transverse members 17, which are connected. together by alongitudi nal member 18. The latter constitutes a support to a seat 19.

Supported by the bar 8 and members i 7 and 2 is a base 20 for gas engine21. The engine 21 drives a crank shaft mounted in bearings 23-, andprovided with fly wheels 24-, and The crank shaft projects out wardlyfrom each side. of the machine frame and each of the projecting ends ofsaic shaft has a sprocket pinion 26, connected by a chain 27 to asprocket wheel 28, carried by shaft L -9, mounted in bearings 30 andsecured to the bars 13. Shaft 29 is provided with a' sprocket pinion 31,which is connected to, the sprocket wheel. 7 by a sprocket chain 32,whereby when'the engine 21 is operated the traction wheels andt will bepropelled.

The reference character 33 denotes a lon-' gitudinally extending member,arranged parallel of member 16, and the lower por tion of the member isa support for the engine 21 as at 34. I

Extending up through the bar 8, members 16 and 33 is a steering postcarrying on its lower end a steering wheel 36. The

post 35 is provided with collars 37 and 38 to arrestvertical movement oithe post 35 with respect to the bar and said post 35, is

providedwith collars 39, $0 and l1 "'t i'ei'tical movement of the post353 to the members 16 and 33 upon the 'post 35 and interposed themembers 33 and collar. 40 is a hub 42 and a gear wheel 43.

Journaled in the members 16 and 33 is a shaft 44 provided with a handle4(5) at the top thereof, and said shaft at between the members 16 and 33carries a pinion 46, which meshes with the gear wheel 43.

- Projecting outwardly from each of the members 1 and 2 is an inclinedsupport 47, and the'said supports depend below the member 8 and arebraced by a transverse bar t8. and detachably connected to the support47 by the bar 48. is an angular shaped frame 49 provided with groundworking tools 50. The connections between the frame 49 and the supports47 are such as to enable the frame 9 to be elevated when the occasion sorequires. Connected to the frame i9 and extending up through the member3 -5, as well as the bar 8. is a verticallydisposed rod 51 provided witha series of openings 52, whereby the pivot of a shifting member andlever 5% can be adjustably connected to said rod. The member 5. isconnected to the frame it) as at 55.

The ground working tools or instruments are substantially triangular indesign and are held to the frame 49 by IIIHHS of yokes or other similardevices 59. i

What 1 claim is:-

An agricultural implement con'iprising a means therefor, a pair ofdownwardly outwardly and forwardly inclined supports secured to thesides of said frame, an angularly shaped frame engaged at one end-withsaid supports one bar of said frame-being extended verticall) andprovided with registering, openings and a lever connected to the angularframe and :uljustably connected to said bar and capable of ele\'atin;and lowering the frame, {IOlllltl \\'orl in; implenients, and yokes forsecurin; the ground working implements to the frame. r

In t stimony whereof I alli'x my signature in the presence of twowitnesses. c
